[PATCH 4.9 39/67] clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Add dt binding for hisilicon-161010101 erratum

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Ding Tianhong <dingtianhong@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 729e55225b1f6225ee7a2a358d5141a3264627c4 ]

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be
used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision
register from common arch timer code would be awkward.  So, describe it
in the device tree.
